Deep Thought Thursday: Heresy is not always wrong belief, sometimes it is exclusive belief

Heresy isn’t always believing something that is incorrect. More often it is believing something that is correct too strongly. For example it’s fine to believe that Jesus is God, and its fine to believe that Jesus is man, but when you believe one to the exclusion of the other you have trouble. Likewise believing that humans are sinners is all right, and believing that we are in the image of God is all right, but when you believe one but not the other things get tricky.
Peace,
Chris
